| A little about me: | Hi! I suffer with severe anxiety, OCD, panic, and moderate depression. I am also struggling to cope after I had to withdraw from benzodiazepines after many years of chronic use because of tolerance. Xanax and klonopin are harder to withdraw from than heroin, no kidding. Avoid longterm management of anxiety disorders with benzos if you can. The drugs do work great for panic and anxiety but can be problematic for some when used long-term for anxiety/panic management. Disclaimer: Many people are able to take benzos for a lifetime to manage their anxiety and panic and do well. Below is just my personal experience concerning these drugs after I became tolerant to all of them after 30 years of use and is not indicative of what will happen to anyone else who chooses to take these drugs long-term to manage anxiety / PD. Good luck in whatever path you choose to pursue. I am not a doctor. This is just my personal opinion from my personal experience. Avoid longterm use of benzodiazepines to manage panic and anxiety if possible. It is much easier to come off heroin than it is to detox from benzodiazepines after you have taken these drugs continually for years and become tolerant. Your nervous system will never again be the same. I thought I was going to be able to stay on these drugs forever. Boy was I wrong. Tolerance happened to me and I became sicker and sicker even though I was still taking the drug. The w/d is horrible and can last for years in some people...really hard to describe with words.    |
